What Is In Your Stove Right Now?

[MRD1985]

Full load of oak, hickory, ash, sugar maple and beech again.

 

[NickW]

I miss loads like that in the NC30. The Stratford 2 has a decent size firebox at 2.5 cubic feet, but the shape is restrictive.

 

[ctreitzell]

Cheap elec hours just ended at 1600
So, best to cold start the Panadero

1 Chestnut/ 1 Holly
Kindled with mostly Wht oak and hazel

Not the we have any around here but I've always wondered how well citrus wood burns.

Well, European Lime tree is not at all a citrus tree


It’s not good firewood; it is very light density…There is a tilia (European Lime) at the back of my property and on daily walks I will occasionally pick up a rotten branch if one has fallen. It’s light, so it dries fast and is ok to kindle with.

It’s actually a Tilia Cordata

Yeah those Blaze King’s can sure hold some wood! Those pictures look like 3 full loads in my Fireview. I’ll be burning 3-4 sticks every 3-4 hours today to keep my stove hot and keep coaling down. Then I’ll fill her up before bed.

 

[stoveliker]

Well, that load ran for 13 hrs on that setting.
Shorties now. Red oak and one locust.

 

[Turbo89]

Got a chance to sweep the chimney today, looked pretty good, only about a coffee can or so of soot. Stoves back up and running with some pine and maple to bring it back up to temp.

Same here with the f400

I little early, but here’s tonight’s reload, a mix of hickory, ash and maple:

6 outside, 58 inside, STT 300, still warming up the CAT. Hopefully this keeps the electric heater off overnight when temps are supposed to drop into the negatives.

 

[Todd]

-4/73 one split of Oak in the lower back and some Maple to fill in for the evening load.

 

[MRD1985]

Heavy on hickory and oak tonight, with some ash and sugar maple. Currently 9, low of -8 tonight. Going to run this one with more air and higher blower speed tonight, won’t matter too much as I’m reloading around 6 am (work tomorrow).

Nice full flame secondaries with this wood

 

[stoveliker]

After the shorties of this afternoon I burned three splits of sassafras and one pine split.

15 outside, going down to 3. Upstairs 70.

Red oak reload. Ashes nearly near the top of the front bricks.

 

[NickW]

9 degrees and staying above 0 for the next 3 nights. Load of cherry, white ash, sugar maple, beech and hickory. Just ramping up.

 

[MRD1985]

Heavy on beech and oak with some mulberry and hickory. Off to work this morning. 0 with real feel of -10

 

[Todd]

-10/68 it may hit 20 today! Mix of oak and maple this morning.

 

[weee123]

Full load of oak ripping right now 700 STT stove room 72 outside temp of 14

 

[stoveliker]

11.5 hrs on that load of last night. 5 f early morning. Upstairs 68.
Added a split of sassafras on the coals. Will reload before have to leave to see if we can get some beetle killed pine down before the winds tomorrow.

 

[Turbo89]

Got a late start, came out to a cold stove (STT 70) and 45 deg shop (heater set to 45). Re-lit and warming up with some maple, pine and other randoms from the mystery pile.

15 outside, 52 inside, STT 550, CAT 850 and ramping, air wide open.

I should probably sweep in the next couple weeks, rain permitting

I use a soot buster and a drill, so you can do it from the inside. Works pretty dang well!

 

[ctreitzell]

Again, bon courage y’all where it’s actually cold

Here it’s in the 40s; not much sunshine until dusk as I lit the Panadero…burnin junk is so much cheaper and 10x more powerful than electricity.

1chestnut and the rest is white oak lit up with hazel kindling. Some a that oak in there is ugly.

Jim is hooked on the flame show

Wish I could…I’m still pulling off a 90° outside and re-taping a section that has been insulated by myself🤦‍♂️

I have it down now… takes me about 2 hrs all in…if I don’t make a mistake and have to start over
